Which is why I've slathered the "Maltese" part all over my social networks -

I do beauty videos on youtube.

Which is considered rather weird by some over here.

But that's okay.

I LOVE doing it -

and for every person who tries to make fun of me doing youtube

I have 100 who watch my videos.

So - pretty happy in that regard.

NOW. Onto my point.

Because I do sometimes make fun of stuff I see in my country.

I AM ALLOWED to pin point at negative stuff in Malta,

but if you're a foreigner living here and you try to bad mouth my country,

JKLTFDLTK£$%""!!

DON'T.

Because you see - this is my country,

and just like if I wanted to say something bad about my mum because she's angered me

(sorry ma - trying to make a point over here)

I CAN. Because she's my mum.

And I'd take it back the next second

and pin point at all the beautiful things she's done for me in the past.

But if you try to talk crap about my mum,

then I'll unleash all my female hormones on your buttocks.

Point is.

Don't try to bad mouth my country.

Don't try to paint everything on the negative side.

Don't say every Malteser is rude just because you met one rude Malteser.

Because in MY country

if you're living here

and you try to bad-mouth us,

and expect us to smile back and sit back and listen to your holy opinion,

let's just say - that's not going to happen.

If you don't like it - you're welcome to leave.

I'll even send you unicorns to pack your bags for you.

Because I love my country.

And yes - I criticise it quite a few in hope for certain changes

which I'm sure will never happen.

But I love it with all its flaws.

And you pin pointing at all our flaws and saying what a crappy country it is because of it,

not mentioning any positive aspects,

you're just being plain rude.

Because over here - Malta that is -

is one of the safest countries,

we've got lots of beaches for you to enjoy

which are minutes away from pretty much anywhere.

We're friendly - not all of us - but most of us are.

We make you feel welcome and we help you when you're lost and ask questions.

Everything is on a minor scale,

and things happen but

I wouldn't change my home country for the world.

Enjoy Malta, but please don't bad-mouth it.

(P.S. Because I so expect the annoying comment saying "YOU MALTESE PEOPLE DON'T ACCEPT CRITICISM!" - It's not criticism when you ONLY mention the negative aspects, it's not criticism when you say all Maltese people are loud when the ratio of loud Maltese people you've met is 1:100.)

OH - AND Just in case I sounded all anti-foreigners,
some of the nicest people I've met on this island ARE foreigners.

She pointed out how some people were pointing at a breastfeeding mother as if they've never seen a boob.

Because - GOD FORBID ANYONE SEES A NIPPLE.

WE ALL HAVE THEM PEOPLE!

As a breastfeeding mama - I so appreciated that.

I have never been scorned at for breastfeeding,

but it angers me that some breastfeeding mums are disrespected in such a way.

No disrespect to parents who formula-feed their babies. But some people ACTUALLY THINK formula is better for baby because well, it's man made. Breastfeeding is scientifically proven to be best for baby. P.S This is a fact, not an opinion. #jussayin

And for people to make breastfeeding mums feel uncomfortable because they are FEEDING their baby is just PURE IGNORANCE. And don't start with telling me they could pump out the milk and feed the baby through a bottle. If you're not making their life better and shoving your ignorance down your throat why should they ?

I used to have this everyday when I was in my first trimester of pregnancy,

It was the only thing I would hold in.

It's a boiled egg, and three slices of sandwich with tomato spread(literally - I spread the tomato)

, salt, pepper and oil. And this really makes me feel full throughout the day.

In fact..

I only got hungry around 4pm-ish, and made some pasta with mushroom sauce.

Didn't like it all that much to be honest so I'm going to spare the details.

Then in the evening I wasn't that hungry but I felt like toast with butter and I had just that.

And that's it.

A glass of orange juice and lots of water!

I actually did some 60 squats today.

and that explains why I feel so sore today LOL.

PS. Because I feel like someone WILL comment about it.
I wasn't starving myself,
I was busy saving up back up for files
and with Aicha and all that,
so that's why I didn't eat all that much,
plus that breakfast truly did make me feel full for a long time.
Oh and I got up late as well. So that breakfast happened around midday.

Okay so I was still hungry, after that egg-veggie thing.
I mean not immediately hungry,
but after an hour
I felt so weak and hungry,
I guess the lack of carbohydrates were getting to me.
And since it was still early in the day I needed my energy up.
So I did this thing that my awesome mum-in-law used to cook for me when
I was pregnant (She cooked loads of stuff but this one was one of my favourites).
It's basically bread cut in half
with tuna, tomatoes, mozzarella and I threw on some mint on top and black olives.
It's lovely and really quick and easy to do.
So I had what you saw in the picture times two.

For dinner I made some roast potatoes (threw in some spray oil or whatever you call that)

with BACON! and if you know me, you have to know I LOVE BACON.

I put it in pretty much everything and I go through some 5 packs per week.

Oh and the meat is pork medallion.

I cooked that with some garlic and some spray oil.

I didn't really have the sauce btw.

I did that so my plate looks prett-ay :D.

Oh oh oh and this is my favourite part. MICROWAVABLE POPCORN.

I'm loving the butter flavoured one.

It tastes soooo good when it's still warm!

I had like 1/3 of the bag.

But don't judge me, okay.

I DESERVED IT!

Oh and here I threw in a photo of my orange juice.

Becasuse I'm a gangster like that.

Okay, okay - I did that just so I remember to tell you guys what I've been drinking.

I drink lots of water (ALWAYS) but I

sometimes drink ice tea peach,

and that has lots of calories in it,

so I'm no longer drinking that.

Throughout these past two days I literally had half a glass of diet sprite

I HATE IT when people say ASK.FM should be shut down.
Honestly, You should teach your children NOT to use such applications.
Anonymity ALWAYS leads to bullying!
Anonymity is not only available on ASK.FM,

anyone can create a fake profile these days,

and hide behind someone else's identity.
I'm all out for protecting children.
Then yet again, children SHOULD NOT be on facebook.
If it's ok for your teenage daughter to be on facebook,

MONITOR her use of facebook the whole time.

Be-friend her on facebook so you can see what she's doing.

AS I SAID

Anonymity is available ALL over the internet in different forms.
So shall we shut down the internet just because

As you might know I've shifted more on youtube and set my "blogging" aside.

Of course, I still post on my blog - mainly videos -

but there's a reason why I had to do this.

I lost my passion for blogging.

I lost it, and I lost it ages ago.

I found it boring,

and I was finding it to be tedious to blog.

I still wanted to blog.

I wanted to blog for a long time.

And I have been blogging a long time.

But it didn't feel like it was for me.

It was a stepping stone.

This is my 4th year in the blogging world.

And while it might seem like not that long,

in the blogging world - that's a LONG LONG time.

I am not the type of person who went into this thing for the popularity,

for the events or the opportunities. NO

I LOVE makeup, and I want to share that passion with the world.

I looked up - and still do - at beauty gurus

and find the whole thing so alluring.

But youtube is a cruel place to be.

Blogging is "safe".

You're hiding behind a screen and no one has any idea who you are,

how you truly are in real life.

Youtube is different.

And if you've never been in front of a camera, you wouldn't understand.

A lot of you are thinking -

Oh I hate it when someone films me, I find it awkward.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about switching on the camera and just being you.

When I film videos for youtube, I feel like I'm at home -

it's something I've always dreamt of doing.

And I'm doing it now - full time.

It's difficult to call it full time because aside from the fact that it's my hobby,

I DON'T earn a full-time-job pay from it.

So let's call it a full time hobby.

This full time hobby of mine, consumes a lot of my time,

and I don't mind that one bit.

I've stopped working and I'm the stay at home mum,

something I never quite wanted to be -

hold on - hold on I'm not done yet.

This was my decision, and whilst two sentences ago

it might have seemed like I'm not happy, that's so not the case.

You see - I have a super supportive boyfriend,

he motivates me and encourages me to do this youtube thing.

So by being that stay-at-home mum, I can do this youtube thing.

If I didn't have his support I don't think I would have continued to do this,

just because a lot of people like to pin-point at this youtube thing as a "lame" thing.

I've had so many people "trying" to make fun of me for doing youtube.

I was actually one of the firsts in Malta who started doing beauty videos.

One of the very firsts, if not the first one.

I deleted the very first few videos,

because of the trash-talk from people.

But being the first - or one of the first, is not always a good thing.

Back when I started blogging it was still a lame thing to do -

now everyone's popping blogs just because

they have the support of the ones that have been blogging for a long time.

It's no longer something lame, it's no longer a tough place to be.
To put things into perspective -
Back when we started bloggers meet ups -
it was mainly because we wanted to find the support in each other,
because we all found it rather tough to deal with the people who found this lame.

I've come at a point where a don't give a flying muffin

about what people think.

I get invited to sooo many events,

and I'm not bothered to go to all of them.

THIS IS NOT A STATUS THING FOR ME. PERIOD.

I love getting feedback on this youtube thing,

I love getting comments, and likes -

and I used to disable ratings because dislikes used to get to me,

and honestly - now I don't care if I get them.

I care about the likes.

I care about the comments,

the readers,

and everyone who supports me.

And if anyone thinks of me as this lame-girl-doing-youtube-makeup-videos,

so be it.

I am doing what I love and I'm eternally grateful to anyone who supports me doing it.

So today's there's going to be an early upload because today's video is 26 minutes long - I kid you not - but it's soooo worth watching I'm telling you.

#2.

I also got sick so I don't think I will be filming today. I have a cold and I'm wearing this beak type of thing that they wear in construction so I won't pass it on to Aicha.

#3.

I'm thinking about doing a labour/delivery story but I'm kind of skeptical about it. I mean they're facts and I think it's nice to share that with you guys .. but it's something personal. I don't mind telling people I meet about it.. but to have it on youtube.. I don't know. Let me know if you d like to see a video like that.

#4.

I'm baking banana bread this morning because I had some ripe bananas in the fridge and I want to give it a go. It's not smelling all that nice though, honestly.. mm. will update you.

#5.

Aicha's growing up wayy too fast- she's 3 months tomorrow, and she's such a happy baby - she smiles all the time and I can tell she has a bubbly personality already.
